Effluent gases emitted to the environment during combustion operations can lead to degradation of high temperature materials with deleterious effects on mechanical integrity and the corrosion of alloys. This paper focuses on sulphidation of one quaternary, and four ternary, Pt-based superalloys of various chemical compositions. Pt-based superalloys were exposed at 900°C in a reducing environment. The alloys were compared to coated and uncoated Ni-based superalloys (NBSAs). X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy were used to characterize corrosion products that formed. The Pt-based superalloys exhibited higher corrosion resistance than NBSAs as a result of the formation of a protective Al2O3 scale, whereas NBSAs suffered internal sulphidation and formed Cr and Ni sulphide corrosion compounds. The formation of brittle needle-like phases and the transformation of the NiAl phase to Ni3Al, led to early failure of the coated alloy. Pt-based superalloys alloyed with Co showed poor corrosion resistance as a result of depletion of alloying elements.","PeriodicalId":22791,"journal":{"name":"The Open Materials Science Journal","volume":"62 1","pages":"18-26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76095876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that the addition of appropriate nano-sized TiO2 sol in the preparation of PVDF membrane has greatly improved some properties of the membrane such as microstructure, hydrophilic ability, mechanics intensity and water flux etc. The addition of Fe 3+ ion in the preparation of PVDF membrane has greatly improved its catalytic activity to decompose H2O2.

The linear relationship of 1/C 2 versus voltage curve implies that the built-in potential Vbi and the conduction band offset of the heterojunctions were found to be 2.1eV and 1.5eV, respectively. The forward conduction is determined by trap-assisted space charge limited current mechanism. At forward bias voltages, the electronic potential barrier is larger than holes in the p-CuSCN/n-Si heterojunction interface. In this voltage area, a single carrier injuction is induced and the main current of p-CuSCN/n-Si heterojunction is hole current.

It is shown that linear viscoelastic tests are useful to qualitatively characterize the adhesive performances. However, deeper knowledge can be achieved by non linear viscoelastic tests.

This procedure, based on probabilistic analyses, is able to support the design of complex composite laminated structures by accounting for the scatter in composite materials' mechanical properties (related to the mutable environmental conditions experienced by an aircraft component during its service life) and by accounting for the uncertainty on accidental impacts locations. A failure criterion, based on the determination of the threshold critical impact energy for impact induced delaminations' onset, is adopted for the evaluation of the damage resistance of composite laminated structures, in the frame of the introduced probabilistic analyses. The proposed procedure has been implemented into a commercial FEM platform and composite panels have been used as numerical benchmarks to investigate the influence of the combined material properties and impact location uncertainties on composite laminated structures' impact damage resistance. A further comparison between two different stiffened composite panels designs have been introduced to highlight the added value of the proposed impact damage resistance probabilistic approach in terms of safety and effectiveness, with respect to the standard deterministic tools.","PeriodicalId":22791,"journal":{"name":"The Open Materials Science Journal","volume":"153 1","pages":"8-22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75110445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the coating materials has different thermal physical properties with the matrix materials, the residual stress is surely left in the coating. Much bigger residual stress not only restricts coating thickness but also primarily affects coating binding strength. Having analyzed reason for residual stress in the thermal spraying coating and matrix, the theoretical model of arc spraying 3Cr13 molten drop impact stress is built and numerical simulation is done for this theoretical model. The result indicates that: the faster the molten drop speed is, the greater the pressure that matrix produces. When the molten drop's collision speed is 100m/s, it is not obvious for the matrix's pressure stress and when the collision speed is increased to 200m/s, the pressure stress produced in the matrix can maximize 5500Mpa; the faster the molten drop's collision speed is, the higher extent the molten drop's flattening is, which is more beneficial to increase coating's bonding strength. The radius for the molten drop in the radius of 35� m becomes 80~110� m after collision and the flat ratio of the molten drop particle is about 3. The theoretical analysis is consistent with the experiment result.","PeriodicalId":22791,"journal":{"name":"The Open Materials Science Journal","volume":"15 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87768607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
